Originally posted by Cloudbringer: Mel, it is pretty much that bad. Unless you have a contract with the employer that lists terms of employment and loss thereof, you are at the mercy of the employer. Now, I DO understand the premise of the law. I believe it was to avoid costly and long fights with unions etc over the legitimate firing of an employee, but as others have noted, it now leaves people at the mercy of the hiring officials or their bosses good mood.

If it was like that in Britain think of the time I could save on attending courses to keep up with the ever changing swathe of Employment Laws.
